Description
We are Emmanuelle and Mickael, a French couple, with 3 children (a 12 y.o. daughter, 10 and 6 y.o. sons) and a dog (3 y.o.).
We live in a house in the country, 15 km away from the town called Annecy (famous for its old town, lake, and surrounding mountains).
We are both working part time and we are doing home schooling with our 3 kids so we spend a lot of time together at home or outside, meeting other families or having fun in the nature.
We eat organic food and a not much meat. We are very much concerned about ecology and we try to reduce our impact.
We love nature and we are practicing various outdoors activities that we would be happy to share with our hosts: canoeing, hiking, bicycle touring, flying-trapeze (we have a flying trapeze rig at home and you could experience it with us : ), skiing.
There is no public transport from our village to the nearby cities but we can lend you a bicycle or drive you some days to Rumilly – 10km or Annecy – 15km while we go working or driving our kids to their weekly activities (basket-ball, dance, theatre, mountain bike, music).Types of help and learning opportunities
